The role of peripheral BACE1 in modulating metabolic health
… of cellular stresses, including hypoxia and metabolic stress, such as with high fat diet (HFD). This led to the suggestion that BACE1 may play a role in energy homeostasis. Consequently, the lab found that global knock-out of BACE1 protects mice from diet induced obesity (DIO), with …

Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in the Heterogeneity of Metabolic Health
Metabolic health is determined by complex biological processes that extend beyond anthropometric indicators such as body mass index (BMI). Chronic low-grade inflammation and oxidative stress are key mechanisms linking metabolic dysfunction to cardiometabolic disease, but their interaction across …

Dietary Modulators of Gut Microbiota: Impact on Metabolic Health and Behaviour
… The ability of the gut microbiota to influence metabolic health and the potential to alter behaviour has been well-established. Therefore, targeting the gut microbiota to improve its’ composition through dietary agents is an attractive strategy to improve chronic diseases, like obesity, and …

The Role of Mouse Placental Endocrine Function on Offspring Metabolic Health
… mellitus (GDM). The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) theory suggests that adversity in prenatal and early life, influence offspring health. Multiple studies have now shown that the maternal environment (GDM, diet and stress) can affect placental growth, birthweight, and …

Delay Discounting, Reinforcing Value of Food, and Components of Metabolic Health
… have evaluated a number of processes underlying health-related behaviors, one of which is delay discounting. Delay discounting is a cognitive process that describes the phenomenon by which individuals discount the value of a future reward compared to the value of an immediate reward. Researchers …

The Composition of a Child's Physical Activity and Their Cardio-Metabolic Health
… independently associated with selected cardio-metabolic risk factors, and (2) estimate whether replacing time in one domain of physical activity with time in another domain of physical activity was associated with changes in cardio-metabolic risk factors. Methods: 385 children aged 10-13 years …

PREDICTIVE ABILITY OF A 3D BODY SCANNING MOBILE APPLICATION FOR METABOLIC HEALTH RISK
… of obesity within the US and rising rates of metabolic syndrome among those aged 20-39 concurrent with a decrease in the reception of primary care. Limitations to healthcare including access, cost, and availability, highlighting the need for simple, efficient, and accessible cardiometabolic …

Dairy products and cardio-metabolic health: aspects from nutritional, molecular and genetic epidemiology
… link between types of dairy products and cardio-metabolic health, but inconsistent findings limit the field. In my PhD project, I undertook an epidemiological investigation comprising inter-related but distinct themes evaluating aspects of nutritional, molecular and genetic epidemiology to …

Prebiotic supplementation with inulin and exercise influence gut microbiome composition and metabolic health
… (T2D) is preceded by prediabetes, which is a metabolically "atypical" state associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, overweight and obesity, lack of exercise, and detrimental changes to the gut microbiome. Dietary intake and exercise are modifiable lifestyle factors for reducing T2D …

EXERCISE AND NON-PHARMACOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS TO IMPROVE METABOLIC HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IN CHRONIC CONDITIONS
Physical activity is known to improve metabolic profile and mental well-being in the general population and in individuals affected by various chronic conditions. Type, timing, intensity and frequency of exercise are important to warrant adherence and to optimize results in subjects affected by …

Motivation as a Common Cognitive Signature of Physical and Mental Health: Bridging Computational Psychiatry, Chronobiology, and Metabolic Health
… not the evening (Chapter 3). I next investigated metabolic health, comparing type-2 diabetic participants to non-diabetic controls. Individuals with type-2 diabetes exhibited reduced motivation, captured by the same computational parameter linked to neuropsychiatric symptoms and circadian rhythm. …

INTRODUCTION OF A NOVEL HOME-BASED HIGH-INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING PROGRAMME TO IMPROVE CARDIO-METABOLIC HEALTH IN AT-RISK INDIVIDUALS
… to combat the rising rates of obesity and metabolic disease. The aim of this thesis was to provide evidence that practical high-intensity interval training (HIT) strategies can remove many of the major exercise barriers for obese individuals and people with type 1 diabetes that could …

Evaluation of a nutrition and health education program on components of metabolic health on women from under-resourced South African communities
… they cannot afford or don't know how to access healthy foods. While poverty is an important barrier to health and education for both men and women, it tends to yield a higher burden in women. There is evidence that low-carbohydrate high-fat (LCHF) diets can improve metabolic health in …
